I have been reading the other posts on this subject, and know that gumpaste is used to help MMF dry faster, but I am still unclear as to when I add the gumpaste to the fondant. I bought the gum paste powder mix. Can I add this in the MMF with the powdered sugar, and if so, how much? Can anyone shed some light on this process for me? 
Thanks!
I know you can add guntx to your mmf when kneading it to work it... I am not sure about the gunpaste mix....

Follow the directions on the gum paste can to make the gum paste. Then, after it has rested for the time recommended you can break off a chunk to knead into the amount of MMF you want to make your decorations. (You can make the MMF while the gum paste is resting.) MMF needs to rest a bit, too, so you'll be ready to go after an hour or so, I think.
What will happen if I try to make roses out of MMF without the gumpaste? Will they still hold their shape? How long will they take to dry? I have to make some tonight for a cake that is due first thing Wednesday morning, so I don't have a lot of time. I already have a batch of MMF in the right colors, so if I don't have to make gumpaste....
I have made them before without gumpaste, and they work ok. They are just not as sturdy as they would be with gumpaste. If I only needed a few I don't think I would mess with gumpaste, but that's just my opinion. Since I needed so many this time I wanted to be able to make them ahead of time and hold their shape. That's why I chose to use gumpaste this time.
